According to Match.com, the best time of year to find love online is today at 8:57 pm. Who knew?

It certainly makes sense. Millions of singles just spent time with their families, and probably heard from at least one relative: “So, have you met anyone yet?”

The holidays can be a tough time to spend alone… I guess I should mention, I’m speaking from experience here…

I was on Match.com nine years ago at this time, but for a different reason, I thought. I had started a local, non-online dating service six months earlier. I found I had a number of GREAT women clients in their 40s and 50s, and wanted to find some great men for them to date, so I put a very general profile online.

I thought I would meet with candidates, and if I liked them, do a quick background check, and then set up some dates. This is where fate stepped in, BIG TIME!

The first man I met used the moniker “Tall Guy” on Match.com.

We e-mailed a bit. I liked the way he went to the trouble to actually share things about himself.

So after just a few e-mail exchanges I called him. That conversation went even better! “Tall Guy” lived only ten miles away, so we set up a “date” for the next Saturday.

I’ll never forget how cute he looked when he arrived with a big bouquet of flowers, which he tried unsuccessfully to hide behind his back. Tall and very attractive was my first impression… beautiful green-grey eyes was my second.

Our first “date” lasted TEN HOURS! We couldn’t quit talking…

This week we will celebrate nine years of a rare and lovely way of relating. We still enjoy spending lots of time together, talking or not talking. Love is stronger than ever. We have shared so much, with so much more to share…

So if you feel ready to get serious about love again, don’t miss this window of opportunity today.

Hey, do they say on which time zone it applies? Being in Paris, it only let me 1h35 left to find Love! But, hey, silly me! Where is the rush, I already have it!

I saw you wrote a book called “How To Believe In Love Again” Well, on my side I don’t really think it’s a really matter of “belief”. It would be more about, 1st: Allowing yourself to it, and 2nd: giving the right push to serendipity so that it can happen. You found it because you are an active woman and you are going toward people and connections.

Nevertheless, I still think that Love (with a big L) is a little miracle, like an “alignment of stars” as I say in my book on Sensual Life (“Being French!”) and when we are so lucky to hear it ringing our bell, we just have to be bold and strong to make it happen and be the “complete humans” that we never totally reach to be without it.

That is a great story! The silver lining in it is that the best time to find love is today! Every day you wait is one day you never get back. And don’t be discouraged if nothing ends up happening today. Just stay positive knowing that you are one day closer to finding love.
